My wife decided that my son needed to have a fort in the backyard... Don't know why, but she convinced him that he couldn't live another day without one. So I was tasked with building one.
So I looked around, saw that they were starting at $1000 and didn't want to spend that kind of money. I went online and found a place selling plans for building a fort for $5. So I bought it, spent 3 weekends going back and forth to 84 Lumber for more wood and going to Home Depot for an endless supply of bolts and screws. In the end we wound up with what you see below.
I got the slide from a friend who was throwing it out, got the canopy from my brother for nothing. Overall it cost me around $400 to put together. What do you think?
